The earthquake prompted many to wonder if it was an aftershock of the November 30, 2018 M7.1 Anchorage Earthquake. However, the Susitna quake occurred outside the aftershock region of that significant event.

The National Tsunami Warning Center confirmed that “a tsunami is not expected following the quake”. Alaska’s Department of Transportation said roadways, tunnels and key transport infrastructure would be inspected as a precaution, consistent with established protocols following moderate seismic events.
